Starting Over, Standing Taller: Cathryn Lavery on Rebuilding Best Self Co. and Herself

Transformation begins with a single step, and sometimes, it's a return to your roots.

In this empowering episode of Roots + Rebirth, Terri Broussard welcomes Cathryn Lavery, founder of Best Self Co., for a vulnerable and visionary conversation about building, breaking, and bravely beginning again.

Cathryn shares how she went from architect in NYC to entrepreneur in Austin, how a single journal helped her manage undiagnosed ADHD, and how selling (and eventually buying back) her company transformed her inside and out.

Through business betrayal, burnout, motherhood, and mindset shifts, Cathryn has reclaimed her joy, her purpose, and her legacy. Whether you're navigating your own reinvention or looking to lead with more intention, this episode is a beautiful reminder that starting over doesn't mean failure, it often means freedom.
